This film shares the inspiration and persistence that have kept the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe strong despite nearly a century of living with the degrading effects of dams. It's hard to imagine a better experience than hearing speakers of the Klallam language, seeing the river from its headwaters to its mouth, and receiving wisdom of Tribal leaders and poets.

Seeing the entire length of the Elwha River from the air was an interesting, thought provoking film experience, especially in the context of the dams that have kept wild salmon from accessing this spectacular system. Little narration was provided, which seemed appropriate, adding weight to the sobering appreciation of so much salmon habitat forsaken for nearly a century. But what was said, by Klallam elders in their native language, was particularly moving.
